The racism is openly stated!
“The answer came back days later in an email from Spencer Chretien, the highest-ranking official in the State Department's refugee and migration bureau, saying the program is intended for white people.” www.reuters.com/world/africa...
Exclusive: US diplomats asked if non-whites qualify for Trump refugee program for South Africans | Reuters
In early July, the top official at the U.S. embassy in South Africa reached out to Washington asking for clarification on a contentious U.S. policy: could non-whites apply for a refugee program geared toward white South Africans if they met other requirements?

Of course I want answers. I have written to Maxwell in the hopes that she'd talk to me (no luck).
But the idea of subpoenaing Ghislaine Maxwell for her testimony, or visiting her in jail for an interview — how does that work?

As a person who covered Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal trial, and who has read through pretty much every single Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit, I find the current discourse to be in bizarro land.

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.
When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

A ‘mistake’ of this magnitude should be inconceivable, but for the most careless and chaotic cabinet in our nation’s history it’s not even all that surprising.
Each day is further proof: we can’t trust this administration with our national security.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

American citizens of color are now going to have to carry their birth certificates in addition to passports and drivers license.
American citizens will have to carry papers like Europeans did in 1940’s Nazi occupied Europe.
Let that sink in.
